'Barca will regret Fabregas sale'

If the respect of your peers is anything to go by, Cesc Fabregas would surely be the world's most expensive player.

As he appears to be closing in on a £30 million move to Stamford Bridge, prospective Chelsea team-mates and his friends at Barcelona have been falling over themselves to praise him.

The latest to join the clamour is Barcelona winger Pedro, who has admitted he would be disappointed if "complete" midfielder Fabregas, who has struggled to establish himself at the Nou Camp since returning in 2011, left for Chelsea.
